I would like to know if there is any compatibility issue with using a Shimano Deore XT rapidfire 10sp shifter and XT rear mech with a Tiagra 10sp cassette?

I was trying to measure the spacing between the cogs on an XT 10sp cassette vs a Tiagra 10sp cassette, and I couldn't quite tell the difference. So I was wondering if it was compatible. A friend advised that the cable pull ratio is different between the road and MTB shifters.

My present flat bar road bike has entry-level Shimano shifters which don't shift so crisply. Able to get my hands on a Deore XT set, hence the question.

No problem with compatibility. You can mix Sram and Shimano road cassettes with their MTB equivalent/ They are not as beefy and tend to be lighter than the MTB versions. I have used them for years. They wear out just the same as its the same material, its just that there is less of it. I suppose they make MTB cassettes tougher to accommodate the rigors of off road riding. Just look after them and they will look after you.
